Unfortunately that's a huge proposition these days.  There are no end to the patches that need to be hacked on.

My best suggestion is to use WinUAE to install ClassicWB on the card.  That way it's 99% preconfigured for you.

id recommend adding these things one at a time. Otherwise it gets hard to keep track, if you apply 4 or 5 things, then suddenly have an unstable system


No doubt.

I've got a bunch of folders on another drive with copies of the SYS: partition after each thing I install.

For example, I installed Poseidon onto a ClassicWB 3.9 install the other day and it completely blew up, wouldn't boot with startup-sequence.

It took me forever to find that the input device line was added in the wrong place in the startup-sequence (above the comments at the top!) since ClassicWB didn't have the particular line Poseidon was looking for.

The backup saved the day on that one.
